[Elecraft] Best earbuds for KX1?

[Walter Underwood]

Yes, I have had good experiences with B&H. I have an early pair of Ultimate Ears in-ear phones, but they start at $400 now.

In-ear phones that seal in your ear canal can be tricky to fit. I seem to have very small ear canals, because the smallest options are a bit tight in my ears.

That is why I suggested getting a pair of big yellow ear protectors over your earbuds. Works great.

In the pro audio world, they're called "in-ear," and are mostly sold to pop musicians for in-ear monitoring during live performance. They are used with UHF FM transmission systems, and because it's usually REAL loud on stage, they must be very good at sealing the ear canal.
